Hi there, I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to look up a marriage record for me. I believe my 3x great grandparents Thomas Carter & Ann Smith were married at Aston on 10 November 1800. I'd love to know if there is any other info to be had from the parish record. Thanks Sheryl in NZ...

Thanks so much Shera. That's really helpful. Sheryl

Hi Everyone, Hoping some one would be kind enough to look up some christening records at St Phillips church. Mary Ann Carter was christened 4 Sept 1822 & Joseph Smith Carter & Emma Carter were both christened 7 June 1827. Any other info on these records would be much appreciated. Thanks, Sheryl :)

Hi there, Could someone kindly look up a marriage record at St Martins on 13 Jan 1827 for John Booth & Nancy Carter. I'm hoping there will be a little more info to help me decide if this is really the Nancy Carter I'm looking for. Thanks, Sheryl :)

Hi Jennyann, Thanks very much for this link. It's very interesting & will lead to more info I'm sure. Sheryl

Hi Shera, This William is the right age to be William Pride Ralph so nice to know what happened to him. And 2 more possible children for this family as well! Fantastic! Thanks so much once again. Sheryl

Hi Shera, Thanks so much for your time & prompt reply. Even the fact that you mention these records are hard to read is helpful & explains why it is so difficult to find records we know should be there. We're pretty certain Elizabeth's surname was Lowell as 3 of her children had the middle name...

Hi everyone, My great Grandfather was Alfred Carter youngest son of John Cater councilman for Ladywood ward. Alfred was born in Birmingham in 1840 & emigrated to NZ about 1890. He died in 1932 & I'm curious about a mention in his obit that says he joined the 1st volunteer corp in England & was...

Hi Everyone, Could someone please lookup a marriage record for Elizabeth Lowell & William Pride 25 Sept 1785 & also a christening record for William Pride Ralph 14 Oct 1795 both at St Martins. Any extra info would be much appreciated. Sheryl

Thanks anyway Di. Good luck with your research. Regards Sheryl

Thanks again Di, I'll certainly follow up on that. I notice you are researching Carters as well. My GG Grandfather was John Carter who was a city councilor for the Ladywood ward for 28 years. He also owned a canal boat building business. I don't suppose there is a connection to your Carters...

.....My GG Grandmother was Hannah Jarvis Parkes. She was born about 1803 in Tamworth & in 1832 married John Carter at St Martins. John was a city councillor for the Ladywood Ward for 27 years & also owned a canal boat building business at Ladywood..... Edit. The early posts on this thread are...

Hi Alberta & Di, Thank you both very much for your time & effort. I have Thomas Ralph's death record but can anyone suggest where he might have been buried? He was christened & married at Aston Juxta. Is this the same as St Peter & St Paul church near Aston Hall? If so was the churchyard still...

Hi everyone, I am looking for more info about my GG Grandfather Thomas Lowell Ralph who was born in Birmingham in 1825. He spent many years in Russia, establishing and afterwards managing the first metal-rolling mills in that country for the Russian Government. He returned to Birmingham where...

Thanks again Ann, I am going to really enjoy belonging to this forum. I get quite frustrated sometimes being so far away from England but it's nice to know there are lots of other people out there who are interested in the same things I am. There is so much I want to learn about my roots & in...

Hi Brian, It's a shame but I don't have any of those names in my tree. Good luck with your research. Hi Ann, Thanks for that wonderful photo. Is it ok if I copy it to my computer? I'd like to keep it with the other info I have on St Martin's? Thanks Sheryl

Wow! Thank you Wendy, Linda, Ann & Bo so much for your replys. I will certainly try contacting St Martins & also Witton cemetery & hopefully find those lost remains. I hate to think of them being left in a draw or a cardboard box somewhere. I'm sure the powers that be would have more respect...

Hi everyone, I know some of my Powell ancestors were buried in the churchyard of St Martins & I read an article about how the churchyard was excavated & the remains removed & examined. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what happened to the remains. Have they been interred in another cemetery...

Thanks anyway Yvonne, It was worth a shot. Good luck with your research. Regards Sheryl
